    funny thing is despite your projection that pac has a lousy resume you i'm sure you can't name somebody who has a better resume/accomplishments than pac!

    so you are proud that mayweather won via cheap shot ko?! or winning over a bloated JMM?! :nut

    I wasnt for a lousy resume I was simply pointing out both have been pulling the wool over our eyes.....truth be told... the fighters that PAC fought were older or at more of a disadvantage because of the time period...not because they fought floyd first... Mosely was a year older... Oscar was 20 lbs lighter... Hatton never looked the same after his first lost.. he was wobbled by colloazo and urango....be objective....

    mosley was a year older but that doesn't make him fresh when floyd fought him.
    oscar 20lbs my ass. more like 8. and he was supposed to destroy pac back in that time.
    hatton - pac fought him at his division

    same goes for mayweather fighting GBP only fighters.

    FACT: Mayweather has only been fighting Golden Boy fighters, and has been doing so for a lot longer than Pac has been fighting only Top Rank fighters.

    Mayweather is a Golden Boy fighter (check their website), they've been milking each other since the De La Hoya fight to keep all the money they make to themselves.

    If it worked like that then Matt Skelton>Kevin Mcbride>Mike Tyson.

    So by your logic that'd make Matt Skelton>Mike Tyson.

    Fail

    Floyd has never faced the best in any division he's been in since the 2nd Castillo fight in 2002.

    Mosley was the best in the division when Mayweather fought him.

    Nobody's going to claim he was the best fighter at any point, but he DID beat Baldomir, who WAS the legitimate welterweight champion of the world and thus was the highest ranked welterweight at the time.

    That said, the last time he fought the best available opponent was Jose Luis Castillo II. Somehow, he managed to miss Pacquiao, Cotto at both 140 and 147, Margarito, Tszyu, Hatton at his good weight, Casamayor, Freitas, etc. I'm not going to call him a ducker, but he's always been very selective about his opponents, and it's a clear pattern.
